Transnationalism and integration: The case of Mongolians in Prague
Šlauerová, Veronika ; Drbohlav, Dušan (advisor) ; Siwek, Tadeusz (referee)
Mongolian migration to the Czech Republic has had a long tradition, since the beginning of a former political regime. Nowadays, there are more than six thousand Mongolian immigrants living on the Czech territory, nonetheless, we lack more valuable research done on integration of this minority. At the same time the Czech society is not very well aware of this number of foreigners of Mongolian origin and they are more often assumed to be Vietnamese or Chinese. Since the early 1990s, studies on transnationalism have explored the empirical patterns of migrants' transnational practices and observed whether they coexist with indicators of integration. The research on Mongolian integration presented in this master's thesis was carried out as a case study focusing on analysis of transnational behavior of immigrants (sending remittances, mobility and regular contact with family and friends in a country of origin). Based on the results coming out of completed interviews, this thesis tries to find whether this behavior has an impact on immigrants' process of integration. It also seeks to find other potential factors that might have a significant influence. The results of this research reveal quite high rate of transnational practices, yet it does not seem to be the only determinant of a successful or...

Contemporary Forms of Buryatian Shamanism
Havlíček, Marek Aurel ; Kašpar, Oldřich (advisor) ; Bělka, Luboš (referee) ; Fukas, Andrej (referee)
RESUMÉ V ANGLICKÉM JAZYCE Since the 1980s, a revival of religious traditions, whose continuity was disrupted considerably in the Soviet-era Russia, has been in motion in the entire area of Siberia and Central Asia, among the so called 'rooted nations'. While major religious groups, such as buddhism and islam, could successfully pick up the threads of their religious traditions thanks to their written resources; religions based mainly on oral transmission are facing the opposite situation, shamanism not being an exception. Intense tension coming from the spirituality of their own ethnic traditions, which spontaneously opened after many years of the Communist secularization, in the case of shamanism hit the barriers of how to adequately re- establish the disrupted traditions (lack of living bearers and experts on their own traditions, initiated and uninitiated shamans, and other ceremony specialists, ignorance of symbolism). The whole process of rebirth, revival or revitalisation of shamanism is entirely consistent with the context of current issues concerning constituent societies, which naturally carries the legacy of Soviet culture. Political and economic changes in the post- Soviet space also enabled the bearers of traditions to become open to a wide range of new influences from abroad. Revitalization...

Hrabalová, Lenka ; Ťupek, Pavel (advisor) ; Kučera, Petr (referee)
JALAL AD-DIN MENGUBERDI AND MONGOLS Jalal ad-Din was a hero of his time. He was a hero, an adventurer, a knight and fighter. His role in Middle East politcs but remains very complicated. In my essay I'm working with few of medieval chronicles of different muslim writers od 13th century. My deal is to point out a complex picture of this important person and explain his contribution to umma and medieval society. If there was any. I'm asking how was he seen by muslim intelectualls and by a society? Was he a savior or a threat? Was he really "the wall against Mongol invasion"? He was indeed a really complex person and I want to find his real face among different opinions. I divided my essay into five champers. First of them is describing first year of Jalal ad-Din rule in Khwarezm, which was short and full of fights. Second chapter is describing evolution of relations between Mongols and khwarezmshah during twelve years of his rule. Third chapter is focused on relations with khaliphate in Bagdad and from same point of vue, next chapter is describing relations of Jalal ad-Din and Ayyoubids and Seljuq empire of Rum. Last chapter is containg neclogs and evolution of Jala ad-Din's legend in Near East. I'm working with 8 chronicles which every brings a different picture nad was written under different circumstances,...
